Sexy Steph, 36, dated hunky personal trainer and actor Dan Hooper for six years before they split earlier this year.

The couple have a daugher Lexi, three, and she thought a reconciliation was on the cards. But she was left heartbroken to discover he had started dating Kym, 37.

Both soap girls are now caught up in a tug-of-love over Dan, 31. And yesterday Tracey got her claws out and joined the fray.

She said the Corrie star had not “stolen’’ Dan. Angry Tracey tweeted: “Jealous little b**** #justsaying. I always thought ‘ex’ meant ‘ex’? Now apparently it means ‘gonna get back together’ #desperatecow.

“Just for the record, my sister doesn’t have to steal anybody’s man.

“She’s not that desperate #getagrip.

“A man isn’t a piece of property to be lost or stolen anyway, saddo? My sister is amazing! Do one, you morons.”

Tracey’s son Nathan also joined in.

He tweeted: “Some people need to realise that they cant hold on to the past 4ever. Whats done is done. #getoveryourself.”

Yesterday Kym retweeted a photo of herself enjoying a boozy night out with Dan and pals.

He wrote: “Anybody seen my head? Think I lost it somewhere in manchester yest...? #strugsville.”

Last night agents for Kym and Dan declined to comment and Steph was unavailable for a comment.
